The use of our high-quality pacers ensures a very flat and rigid connection between the cartridge and the headshell. The large surface area ensures perfect contact with the opposite surfaces. It is an excellent intermediate material to transfer direct energy between parallel surfaces. Consequently, the Audio Creative Spacer is the perfect joint for vinyl enthusiasts who want an optimal connection between the cartridge and headshell.
Audio Creative Spacers are machined to precise specifications and fit most headshells.

Roy Huijsmans –
I have got an slightly modified 1981 Thorens TD-160 MK2 with tp16 II/III isotrack tonearm. But i have mounted an schopper tonarm-part, to mount the Goldring Ethos SE. The headshell spacer is well made and fits perfectly, but in this combination, bass becomes thighter but also lighter what is not necessarily a bad thing, but mid/highs were less inspiring. The timbre, and soundstage deminished. I have tried different VTA set-ups and rubber/ leather matts but untill now i can not find a satisfying set up. Probably works fine with other arms but not so good in this combination. Then I changed it with an home made out of pinewood and it was much better, funny enough. maybe someone has advice on this spacer set up. But I also gonna try an alloy version because that is the material used for the cartridge and tonearm, and some other woodtypes. Olive, oak and Juniper. BTW the combination TD-160MK2 with the Goldring is very satisfying.The Thorens can handle it, this cartridge is not overkill for it. I love it. Lot’s of bass and the right amount of mid/highs to my liking.Very engaging cartride. To me a natural sound. And easy to set up, not so critical. I find most, affordable Ortofon/Audio Technica not so neutral, too much focus on the mid/highs, and not enough of timbre. I like all kind of music. (I am using a Prima Luna Tube Pre-amp on Solid state Krell KAV500i. I love the combination, the spacious musicality of the tube pre-amp icw solid state dynamics.) I will give it one more try. Maybe i did something wrong. greetings Roy
